This Module Includes:

Part 1: The Functional Nutrition Intake
Part 2: The Functional Nutrition Focused Physical Exam
Part 3: The Six Core Centers of Health

The IFMNT approach looks at core imbalances in key body systems that underlie symptoms and are the root of chronic health conditions. The unique makeup of each patient is considered, along with both internal (mind-body) and external (physical and social environment) factors that affect total functioning.

Functional medicine focuses on prevention and support through nutrition, as its cornerstone. Categories addressed in the Functional Nutrition Assessment:

  • Diet / Therapeutic diets
  • Exercise / movement
  • Laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques (part 2)
  • Combinations of drugs and/or botanical medicines
  • Dietary and herbal supplements
  • Environmental toxic load and detoxification support
  • Lifestyle balance and stress-management techniques

Along with a comprehensive and detailed history, signs/symptoms, and a careful Functional Nutrition focused physical exam, clinicians begin the deep detective work that not only tells the patient’s story and establishes a patient centered experience, but also helps uncover the underlying issues that allowed the patient to reach their current health status for which they seek assistance.
